Home Base Loop

Home Base Loop traverses the high-elevation rolling hills deep within the San Rafael Swell. It is most frequented by wild burros, horses, and adventurous hikers. The trail accesses what is considered one of the more difficult slot canyon hikes in Utah, Crawford Draw to Eardley Canyon. In dry conditions, the entire 11-mile loop is passable in 2WD with high clearance. There are no obstacles, height restrictions, or narrow ledges. Washouts and deep ruts across the track are the only challenges. The trail drives down a broad grassy draw with sprawling meadow views and back up a similar draw. Limited camping was found along the trail, and the short spur trail included on the track is the unmarked drop-off and staging for the Crawford Draw hiking.
